What is a bridge? A bridge is an elevated structure
designed to support the movement of objects over a span
Bridges are made of steel
and pure awesomeness

Designed by Leonardo da Vinci Bike Bridge, Norway
The world’s first bridge to use a tilting mechanism to open,
forming a gateway for ships to pass. Pedestrian Bridge, England
Bridge design depends on the function of the bridge and the nature of the terrain where it is constructed.

First Bridges-Natural Bridges

The greatest bridge builders were in ancient Rome!

Major Bridge Types
![Page 7: Bridges](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816153550346895dd0db51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Load- The distribution of weights on a
structure
Dead Load- The weight of the bridges
structure
Live Load- The weight of the traffic on the
bridge
Loads and Forces
![Page 8: Bridges](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816153550346895dd0db51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bridges are kept stable by balancing the load forces with supporting forces of
the structure
Tension A pulling force that acts to
stretch the structure
CompressionA force that acts to
squeeze, push or shorten a structure
Forces on a Bridge
(Push or Pull)

SPANThe section of the bridge between two
piers
Different types of bridges have different
distances for each span
ShapesTriangles and rectangles commonly used in bridge
design
These shapes are strong and can handle large loads
without tension and compression doing any
damage

MaterialsMaterials are chosen for strength against tension and
compression forces
Common MaterialsWoodRope
AluminumConcrete
Steel

Beam BridgeSimplest form of a bridge
The deck(roadway) is rigid
and straight.
Supported at both ends by piers
The weight of the beam bridge pushes straight down
on the piers
Amount it bends with a live load depends on length of
beam
![Page 12: Bridges](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816153550346895dd0db51/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Beam Bridge Compression and
Tension
Remember Forces act in pairs!
CompressionCompression force is on top of the bridge deckCauses the upper portion of the deck to shorten
Tension
Tension force is on the bottom of the bridge deckCauses lower part of deck to lengthen

Truss BridgeUses triangles and interlocking joints to
provide extra strength to bridge
Can carry heavier load because of shape
![Page 14: Bridges](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816153550346895dd0db51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Truss BridgeCompression and Tension

Compression along outside of frame/triangles
Tension on the inside of triangles/frame and along deck

Suspension Bridge
Uses cables suspended from tall towers to hold up the deck and distribute the load
![Page 16: Bridges](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816153550346895dd0db51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Suspension BridgeCompression and Tension
Cables under tension and are stretched from the weight of the bridge and
its traffic
Towers under compression from load crossing bridge/deck

ExperimentsScientists build model bridges to conduct
controlled tests to see how they will withstand various stresses
